On the move (should have posted 5/8/2014)

Dear Biscuit & Sparkly Watermelon,
You are 8 & 1/2 months and on the move! Creeping, standing, flopping, even starting to move around the furniture. Your 2 bottom teeth (your first), came in together just after Easter. You're eating everything I can mash or cut, and you will not let us feed you. You will do it yourself.

You've got your "ma, pa, da and ba" sounds. I swear you're saying "Bella." You point to what you want and raise your arms to be picked up. I love how you wave, sniff and smile, blow raspberries and laugh and especially how you tip your head to the side to show someone you love them.

Sleep has been a bit challenging for you.

Mothers' Day

Dear Biscuit & Sparkly Watermelon,
Magia arrived today for an extended visit. I am so relieved. You girls need me so much. Sometimes I forget that it is okay to need my mom, too.

Biscuit, I know it's been difficult for us lately. Sparkly gets a lot of my attention. This is only temporary, while she's so young. I do wish that I could drop everything more often and go outside, bake cookies, play ponies or read books just with you. It breaks my heart how many times a day I have to tell you, "later." You have been so patient, but I know you are struggling a little also.

We did take time today to bake these Ohio cookies and play outside. It was so nice.







I am always here if you need me. I just want you to know that.
All my love,
Mama
